If you’re reading this at 3:00 AM while bouncing a wide-eyed baby, take a deep breath. Your baby isn’t broken and you aren't doing anything wrong.

Understanding Infant Sleep Regressions
What Is a Sleep Regression? A sleep regression is a temporary phase where your baby’s sleep pattern goes haywire. You might notice more wake-ups, shorter naps, and difficulty settling down, even if they were previously sleeping well. This usually happens because of significant developmental leaps.
